Dana White Says He Secured TV and Venue Deals as Fury‑Joshua Bout Stalls

Overview

• UFC chief Dana White told reporters on Saturday that he helped arrange the television and venue deals for a proposed Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight, but he said the matchup will only happen if both fighters agree to it.
• Promoter Eddie Hearn and Joshua’s team insist Joshua’s contract contains a UK‑only venue clause and an explicit ban on Zuffa/White running the show, creating a direct conflict with White’s announced arrangements.
• Multiple reports say both sides have signed contracts that may contain opposing stipulations, a developing dispute that has left the date and site unconfirmed and could require legal or commercial renegotiation.
• Commercial backers including Netflix and Saudi financiers have pushed for a U.S. prime‑time show at Madison Square Garden, a move driven by U.S. broadcast windows and logistical limits on late starts in Wembley.
• Both fighters completed July tune‑up bouts that made a November meeting plausible, but promoter feuding, conflicting contracts and the need for both men to sign off mean the fight could still be delayed or collapse.
